The humps of camels are not reservoirs of water but emergency stores of fat to be drawn upon when the animal cannot get enough to eat. When it is very hot their body temperature rises with that of the air, then they sweat. But instead of losing moisture mainly from the bloodstream like most mammals (this loss of moisture can cause excessive thickening of the blood), camels loose water from the whole body evenly - body tissue as well as the bloodstream. In this way a camel can lose up to 40 per cent of its body weight before its life is in danger. When it reaches an oasis and can drink, it may consume as much as 200 litres of water in one long binge thus replenishing the water that was lost from the bloodstream and body tissue.
